Virgin Money Giving
Virgin Money Giving is a charitable not-for-profit company set up by Virgin in October 2009. From 2010 the Virgin Group signed a five-year deal to be the official sponsor of the London Marathon; the inaugural Virgin London Marathon was on 25 April 2010. This sponsorship led to the creation of Virgin Money Giving, with the aim "to help all fund-raisers raise more money for good causes".
Northern Rock also has its own charity, the Northern Rock Foundation, which Virgin will support until at least 2013.
